Hello. Like many posters before me I would like to request that you please don't yell at me if I am in the wrong section. My oneplus one has no trouble connecting to wifi automatically after a nice reboot, but when I simply want to select a network and connect to it in the settings, nothing happens at all. That iss perhaps not fair to say. When I select a previously unsaved network, it saves, but nothing more. I have been avoiding the issue by enabling quickboot and just rebooting everytime I want to connect to a network. Just so you know, I had this problem for a while on cm11-44s and then I upgraded to daleski75's (surprisingly stable) cm12 build(31/12/14). I promise its not a router problem or something like that, it happens everywhere. Thank you for everyone for this awesome and helpful community.

(This is not device specific errors.)
HTC HD7, used for 2 months. From 2 days ago. basically stopped connecting to WiFi networks with NEW names. As soon as taping on the new network, it goes to 'connection unsuccessful' error instantly. (Not even trying to connect), while my other devices working fine on these networks. The phone is actually able to connect to any other wifi network it had previously remembered (SSIDs like linksys, netgear, even other hotel wifis, coffee wifis,). I have tried at least 10 different new wifi network, the phone simply refused to connect..
Note with 'secured network', phone asks for a password, but as soon as taping 'done', error message appearing straight away (connection unsuccessful, note, if typed wrong password, does give a different error, 'invalid password') and ask to retype password. Note, this is not due to wrong password, the password has been thoroughly tested.)
Any ideas?? I have been travelling a lot with my phone these two months. Like 10 different cities...imagine the number of wifi profiles saved in my phone?? like 100+?? The windows phone give up on me?? Comeon....my iphone has not done that in 3 years....
Additional note, the tested networks are 802.11b/g not n. So should be fine......
Since this HALF BUILT windows phone 7 SW does not have other useful menus that allow me to explore a bit further in the phone. All I can do is just restart wifi, phone.....I do not want to reset..BTW, the SW does not offer reset setting option...only reset whole phone.....?
Possible solution:
1. I have read through this forum. Looks like it is possible to play with the registry files (to remove some of the wifi profiles)?
2. When I get home, I will change my home router to the SSIDs that the phone might have connected to and delete them when they pop up to free some space. This way, I should be able to verify my theory!
If you long press a remembered wifi profile, you get the option to delete it
Yes, of cuz. But u have to let the remembered network to appear in your list in the first place? How do you do that when u r travelling around?
This is just ridiculous.
I am seeking methods outside what I mentioned above.
Waiting for someone to help here...
I have tried to change my home network SSID to those the phone had previously remembered and made some discovery.
Basically the phone is able to connect to thos old SSID given they are unsecured. I was also able to delete those profiles...
However, here is the however, after deleting several old profiles, I still was not able to connect to new wifi network...And what was worse, after restarting the phone, I cannot connect to the previous SSID I have just deleted....
Basically, the phone has stopped accepting new Wifi profiles....This is some serious software bug.
A SW that is full of BUG and no fixes and no one cares...

I imagine Microsoft tech support would care if you called them.
The only thing you can try is to hard reset.

I didn't realize we worked for MS. Like most severe smartphone problems, you need to hard reset. If you talk to MS support they will tell you that, if you call the OEm, they will tell you that as well.
edit: and how do you know this isn't device specific?
The OP is correct. There is no way to delete remembered wifi networks without actually being in its vicinity. I have had this problem. Sometimes, a soft reset fixes the problem. Other times, I delete the network, then try reconnecting. Other times, if the router is accessible, a quick power rest fixes the problem. Also, sometimes, connecting to another network, deleting it, and then reconnecting back to the desired network solves the problem.
However, there are times that the wifi simply refuses to connect no matter what.
This looks more like an software problem. But I should not have said it is not a device specific problem 100%.
Till today, I have used Tune to backup my pictures...but have not decided to reset it yet. Cuz a lot of things need to be manually restored..
I think I will wait for the first important update come out and see if that fixes anything.
All of these arises because the OS is like a rush job, a lot of functions and menus simply does not exist.....
My phone still refuses to connect to ANY NEW wifi network. Including the one it remembered (if I delete them)
This problem has not been solved still. Just wondering is any body else having the same problem?
just ride off wp7, go for android htc desire hd,this thred will go for soooooooo many pages until you get solved your problem.please dont waist your time here like me.
This problem has been FIXED with March update!!! Now the phone runs faster and there are heaps of apps. Now I am waiting for flash and skype api etc...
Hi Guys
Just bought a Rhyme for the wife, was working fine but after updating to ICS the phone doesn't detect my router but detects all the others and I can also connect to the others (the open ones).
I have tried factory reset and downloading the RUU and manually flashing it but still the same problem.
I have also searched the net and the XDA forum but no luck, any help will be really appreciated .
Thanks
Since it's your router, you must know the necessary information to connect to it. Try adding a network manually (type in SSID & password).
Hi
Thanks for your reply.
I've tried that but doesn't detect it at all, says "not in range" even though I'm sitting next to it.
All my other devices work though.
Tried resetting the router? If that doesn't work, remove wireless security on the router & try again.

Check in your WiFi settings and make sure it is NOT saved in the list of previous networks. If it is saved, press it and select the option to forget the network. After that, disable and then re-enable WiFi. If you network pops up, then connect and you're done. If it doesn't connect, then follow the directions below.
If your WiFi network is not save in teh list, or it does not show up after following the directions above, try to manually install the network. This is accomplished differently based on your Android version. It may be in the settings menu in WiFi to manually add the network. Jellybean has a + symbol at the bottom of the page to add one manually. ICS and GB both have it hidden in the WiFi menu. Simply input your SSID and password, and tap connect.
Thanks guys
I've reset the router and it works if I leave the name of the ssid alone but when I change it back to what it was before it stops detecting it again.
So I reset the router again, just added a password and all's well.
Funny problem though.
Good to go, thanks & thread closed.
Hello, I applied this ROM yesterday I don't have enough posts to put the question in the original thread where I downloaded the ROM but I am
and am very happy with the results but there are two issues. One is that I no longer get the “weather sound” when the clock/weather widget is doing a full screen animation.
No huge deal but I kind of liked that.
The other thing, which is a big deal to me, is that the wireless will not connect automatically, either to open wifi that is remembered, or at home where I have WPA security. It also does not notify me of open networks, even though I have that option checked. Another thing (and this goes back to the OEM ROM as well) is that there are three “AT&T Wifi Hotspot” listings and I cannot “forget “ them.
I connect to one of these at Starbucks but do not know why there are three of them. I also do not use AT&T I use a pre-paid T-Mobile with no date plan so that is why the auto connect to Wifi is so important.
Can anyone offer any advice? I am a total newb but I think I did the “full wipe” correctly, I ran a file called FULL_WIPE_1.5_EXT4_.zip
However, I noticed that after the wipe/ROM flash I still had my remembered wireless networks on the phone, as well as the name of the phone for Bluetooth, which I had changed. So it did retain some info even though it make me do the whole setup routine again once I had flashed this ROM.
Thanks in advance for any advice. I do like Sense but wanted some of the stuff I can do with root, but it is very important for me to be able to auto connect to remembered wifi networks as I don't have a data plan. I really don't want go go back to the unrooted version that is posted on the HTC page.
OK stupid a** me I found the toggle for weather sound so now the only issue is the connection to WiFi if anyone can help out. I have tried toggling WiFi on and off, forgetting and then re-connecting to my home WiFi, a restart and an off/on start, but once I am disconnected from a known Wifi it will not reconnect on it's own I have to go into menu/wireless/networks and then it will do a scan and connect automatically, but with the stock rom it always connected automatically, to remembered networks once I was in range, even if the phone was in sleep mode.
Please post all questions in the Q & A section. Thanks. Thread moved.

Hi there,
I am having an issue with my MK808B connecting to my home network. I can connect fine to numerous other hotspots (samsung galaxy nexus, ipad, mifi, etc), but for some reason it just does not want to connect to my home network.
My router is a Cradlepoint MBR-1000, and I am tethering it to a Pantech UM270 Modem for Verizon LTE internet. I can connect fine to this network on several other devices, including the Samsung Galaxy Nexus.
The MK808B shows strong signal, but every time I hit "Connect", it will say connecting for a few seconds and then just revert to saying "Saved, Secured" but without any connection being made. I have of course tried all the normal stuff about rebooting routers, etc. I have tried "Forgetting" the network several times and re-connecting - no luck. I tried setting a static IP address to my home computers thinking there might be an IP conflict issue, but that doesn't seem to be it. I also tried taking off all security on the network, but it still does the same thing.
Some of the other forums I have looked at suggest going to some "Advanced" wifi settings on android, but the MK808b doesn't seem to have that option that I can find.
I looked into my router settings and I do not have any unusual permission settings that I can tell - i.e. no "MAC address filtering" or "Access Control" enabled.
Admittedly I am no network expert, and it seems like there must be some simple issue that I am overlooking.
Anybody got any ideas?
Thanks!

Stupid answer, but have you rebooted the stick? I've seen that happen on multiple Android devices randomly, and a reboot always fixes it. You can also forget the network and try reconnecting and retyping your password. Either/both of those should fix.

Yup, tried both of those ideas. Thanks for trying to help, though!
Hey, guys I just got my Pixel 2.
I connected it wifi but it keeps losing it. Only if I reset my router it will keep the connection for a while, but somehow when
I get to work or in the morning the same issue appears again. It connects but when I go to an app which requires wifi it drops.
I tried to change the channel but didn't work as well.
Restarting the phone won't help either. I also don't want to factory reset it since I want to keep all my data etc. I don't want to go all that bs.
Maybe I should have stuck with a new iPhone after all. Sorry for that comment, but I'm really frustrated
I don't want to give it back or some ****, I just want to fix it easily so I can move on. I hope I get some advice here.

this can help:
phone ::: Go to setting > wifi > advance > If there is Freq option then change it to 2.4Ghz
router (in case no option on phone) ::: go to Wifi setting of your router and disable 5Ghz. I can help more If I know model of your wifi router
:good:
I'm having the same exact problem as OP. I thought for a second I wrote the post. Would love to see if there's a solution. I don't see the option to change frequency in wifi settings. And this issue for me occurs on different WiFi networks.. so it's not just one router. Ugh!
Exactly the same issue here, which is what has lead me to this thread. It often happens that my phone switches to mobile data suddenly while working absolutely fine on Wi-Fi. I have tried almost every basic solution but condition remains the same. Also during that time it stop showing me my (saved) Wi-Fi in the Wi-Fi network available, while at the same time my same Wi-Fi is connected to all the other devices in my house. This needs a fix.
still no fix

ya my problem is still there. This phone is utter dog ****, to be honest. Still waiting for an update, but now I know..never buy a pixel again
Is Bluetooth on? This is what is causing my WiFi to be very unstable......
